When I connect to my AP, authenticated by freeradius using EAP-TLS, I get an entry into radpostauth, entries in /var/log/radius/radacct/192.168.3.115/detail-auth and detail-reply files, but I am not getting any entries into radacct. I don't know whether this is because the NAS is not sending any accounting packets or my setup is not correct. However, since I am getting the entries into radpostauth, I think I must have the setup correct. In what circumstances are accounting packets sent from the NAS? How can I test to see whether the packets are being sent? What sort of information is supposed to be stored in radacct? -- Ian Truelsen s/v Sting Email: ian.truelsen@gmail.com AIM: ihtruelsen MSN: ihtruelsen@hotmail.com Google Talk: ian.truelsen@gmail.com

As the README and FAQ say: run the server in debugging mode. It will tell you if it's receiving accounting packets. Alan DeKok. -- http://deployingradius.com - The web site of the book http://deployingradius.com/blog/ - The blog

I did just that when I set up a Foundry test switch, and I noticed that I was getting (and entering into the database) authorization, but not accounting packets. I bit of digging in the docs later, and I was able to cobble up the incantation to tell the switch to send accounting information, too. I'd previously set up the correct ports, but it took additional commands to get the switch to _send_ the packets over the port. Check the docs for your NAS, specifically look for something like "aaa accounting enable..." or the like. You didn't say what vendor made your NAS, so guessing commands is going to be a bit difficult. -ethan
